DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 3

TOMATOMETER

Fun and familiar, "Freakshow" showcases the some of the best of what the Legends have to offer -- unfortunately, it's not quite enough to overcome the season's tonal incongruities.

Episode Info

The Legends are in 1870 to fix the anachronism which happens to be at P.T. Barnum's fledgling circus. However, Nate and Ray accidentally free a saber-toothed tiger, creating a bigger problem. Meanwhile, P.T. Barnum is on the hunt to capture Nate and Ray to make his show even more exciting for the crowd.

There are some serious plot points in this episode, most of them concerning the return of Amaya, but in general, it's another goofy romp that once again showcases how the Legends tend to make things much worse before they get better.

'Freakshow' is a fantastic example of why Legends of Tomorrow is such a fun show, with plenty of humor and ridiculous capers (including a shrink ray and a saber tooth tiger), but some truly touching moments to balance them out.
